help parry
Parry, the skill itself, is a skill used by jedi to deflect blaster shots, either back at the person firing or at the ground. `Parrying` is automatic, if you have a melee weapon equiped. The type of parrying done WITHOUT a saber is called a `melee parry`. Melee parrying is different in that it only parries other melee weapons. If you try to parry the slice of a saber and you don't have a cortosis weapon, you may find your weapon destroyed by the attack. Regardless, your character will AUTOMATICALLY attempt to parry, and it is not based on the PARRY skill. Percentage for melee parrying is based on the three weapon proficiency skill ratings for the weapon type. For Example: vibro-blades will use vibro-blades, advanced vibroblade and vibroblade mastery to generate the chance to parry, and the chance to counter-attack. Your best bet is to try to get as many of those three proficiency types per melee weapon as high as possible if you want the best chance to parry.
